today again i felt like wearing green bangles
today again i felt like applying heena
it feels as if just few days back
i had done the same with my sisters and cousins

today again i am reminded of the hand plucked heena leaves
and of the swing on the tree
of Dadi who used to accompany us to the Gudiya ka mela
and on return being greeted by warm bowl of Seviyan
